Proposal Development Process

Proposal preparation services are offered to any researcher member of the University of Kansas Cancer Center who is preparing a grant in the broad area of cancer research.

Preparation and time frame: Typically, our office's lead time for proposal development services is at least four to six weeks, even longer for complex applications involving collaboration with multiple institutions. The level of services offered will be determined by the Principal Investigator's preferences and the lead time given to our office.

Review: A draft of the proposal is to be delivered to the KUMC Research Institute 10 business days before the sponsor's deadline, and the final proposal five days before the deadline.

Submission: In most cases, the Research Institute will submit the final proposal to the sponsoring agency on behalf of the principal investigator.
